    Hi Jennifer, All I can say is Wow. I have watched perhaps 5 or so of your videos now and not only are they amazing in regard to teaching, instruction, and production values but I've realized that there is something bigger to you. You remind me of some titanic figures: Richard Proennecke, Sir David Attenborough, Bob Ross, Julia Child, and of course Mr. Rogers. All of these people brought their viewers on journeys of discovery and learning. When I watched each one of them, I felt as though he or she were talking directly to me and that I was special, that there was nothing else in the world that I should be doing but listening and learning at that moment and for however long I watched. You also achieve this with a genuine thoughtful approach and a kindness that makes it through the UA-cam screen. Jennifer Maker comes at very important moment in our time. During this time of uncertainty with parents stretched so thinly, stressed, concerned and afraid, and with families suffering the effects of school lock down, so many children have been left adrift in a sea of instability. I wonder if you would ever consider creating some short videos for Children? I remember when I would watch Mr. Rogers as a child. I was held captivated by his kind demeanor and the short adventures that he would bring me on to meet new people and characters on his show. Tying my sneakers was monumental but Mr. Rogers helped me. Mr. Rogers provided a safe haven for children. Mr. Rogers was on my side. I think that you could do the same. He had his icon red sweater and blue sneakers, you have your wonderful aprons - I have noticed them! Anyway, what do I know, but I think that if you made a craft video for children (something as simple as cutting out paper figures with little girl/boy scissors), with your kind hearted narration.... well, I think that you would become as important as Mr. Rogers. And I think that you would break the Internet. I wish you all the success in the world and I will be watching more of your videos. Thank you for all you do!

      Jamie, I am humbled by your comment! What a sweet and thoughtful thing to write to me. THANK YOU!
      I also adored Mister Rogers and when I first began making videos here on UA-cam a little over three years ago, he was the first thought in my head and I looked to his own programs for inspiration. He was likely the first person who taught me in this way as a child (ie, a broadcast video), which is why I thought of him when it was my turn to teach others in a similar way. UA-cam is today's PBS in many ways. :)
      And while I have thought many times of specifically teaching children, I continue to choose to primarily teach adults instead. But I try to teach and guide the INNER CHILD in adults. I don't say this out loud, but this indeed is my focus. Adults are just big kids, after all, and in many ways I am just as careful in how I teach adults as I would be with how I teach kids -- using intentional, non-confusing words and techniques that are clear and easy to understand and learn, and full of positive messages.
      And as it turns out, children also watch my videos and I love that. I've met many children who watch my channel -- I met one just the other day and it was such a treat! And because I am already talking to the inner child in adults in my videos, I also think this makes me able to talk to children like I would talk to an adult and give them the same respect they deserve.
      Thank you again, Jamie, for the wonderful note! And thank you for watching my videos! It brings me great joy to know I am helping others do more, be more, and craft a life they love.

I wound up trying several settings and followed a few videos but What worked for me was deep blade on Transparency material-default setting with 1 pass with purple mat. Didn’t even leave any marks on my mat. Still a huge fan and you will always be the first place I go for tutorials.

    Hello, I am a Cricut newbie in every sense of the word. I am refinishing a hutch and I would like to make a large stencil, 11" x 23", with a repetitive design. I am going to be painting on hardboard paneling and then once it is dry adding the stenciled embellishment over the solid color. Is the process you highlight limited to just small stencils? Would it work with any type of paint? Your videos are extremally helpful and very well done. TIA

    Have started watching a lot of your videos. 👍. Quick question though, did you use the modgepodge to stop the bleeding on the fabric as well?
